There is a new DS6107-1 IM blank that is based on the old Loomis DS820, which will become available very soon .
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Thank you-

Glad to hear of the DS model!


Outside of that...if the Bay models are tapered like Popping blanks...the lighter powered models make great drop shot blanks.

If you don't want to wait for the North Fork blank, the Batson RX8+ 822.5 Makes an incredible drop shot rod!
